Worth paying extra for the "Baby Moon" package, which includes all you can eat American style buffet breakfast (normally extremely expensive in Italy) and first run pay per view movie each night when you're ready to "crash" after sightseeing ...

Currently still in the hotel. Booked it based upon reviews such as those shown on the your site but can't agree with them. Yes the staff are friendly, but there was no-one at the entrance prepared to take luggage from the taxi upon arrival until I was entering the door. At nearly US500 a night, there is not even a complimentary bottle of ...
The location of the Westin was great, out of the way a little bit, but close enough to get anywhere you want to go. Beautiful views of the Arno!

The epitome of "a room with a view" in Florence. My wife and I honeymooned in Florence, and this grand hotel was everything we hoped for.

My husband and I stayed at the Excelsior during our honeymoon. The location is outstanding. We had a room with a beautiful view and the service was excellent. The concierge helped us find fabulous restaurants. We're counting the days until we return!

Superb location, very attentive staff, clean, I can't stress that enough from the second you walk in. The room we stayed in ( with the view of the Arno river)was nothing less than spectacular. We also had a chance to dine at the hotel; the restaurant is just as superb. I have stayed at some very nice Hotels but the Excelsior is truly a gem not to be forgotten.

Florence was great
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/17/06
The hotel was great. Very happy to deal with the staff who were very kind to our 4 year old. It was easy as most of the staff members were fluent in English. Good position, we had a great view of the river. We went in January.....
